Problem Statement Through various methodologies applied to observe and analyze the area, it has been gathered that there are mainly two problems that need to be addressed. The problems are the need for basic physical infrastructures like chairs and benches around the spaces of Baisnavdevi Temple and proper management of wastage of the temple area. The situational analysis shows that the space has got good potential to be used as a space for leisure activities especially for the elderly people who are also the major stakeholders of the area.
Need for Infrastructure to Sit

Since the initial observation phase, one thing that I had frequently noticed was people would come to the temple area to worship Goddess Baisnavdevi in the temple and would just leave the space afterward not using much of the spaces for any time. Some people would be seen just standing around the spaces of the temple, while the joggers would just pass through it. During the daytime, some people would be seen under the tree just lying down and taking rest. So, I started a questionnaire with the people coming to the temple area especially the elderly and the temple goers.
